Our best place ranking in the World Cup since we hosted it in 1966 was 4th in 1990. Why do people get so delusional that our national football team is anything more than medoicre on the world stage?

Disgraceful drunken behaviour by Stella fuelled thugs.
Uruguay (pop. 3.3m) outclassed England (pop. 56.1m)

Would any of the people commenting turn down the wages these guys are paid??? No.

Dont blame the players. blame the money / media hungry chairman.

Maybe if the same owners / chairman invested more in home grown talent the English team would perform better on the world stage.

It's about a bunch of drunken idiots (who undoubtedly would add also to the domestic violence figures) who embarrass the town. And let's face it, Darlo is not short of them.

Another reason to stay clear of the place.

....this thread is not about football.....

Ofcourse its about football, 50%~75% of the people in the place were there purely because the football was on.

How do you know this? Maybe someone insulted another guys mother, or sister, or spilled his pint, or stood on his foot, or barged in at the bar?

Poor journalism followed by muppets who put 2 and 2 together and get 5.

Why did you come back? Maybe you should have stayed in Appleby - no doubt making the locals lives out there a misery.

Darlington has been nice and quiet this past week or so....Alas, all good things.......

Please go back, and take the rest of them with you.

Kind regards, the decent, law abiding, tax paying people of Darlington

Because I was among the 50~75% watching the match....and the subsequent fight afterwards.
